Description
The Cottage is a pair of cottages from the 18th century that has been converted into a single dwelling. The front is made of colourwashed brick, while the flank elevations and rear are colourwashed rendered. It features a half-hipped thatch roof. Originally, there were two one-bay cottages, but an additional bay has been added to the left side. The building has one and a half storeys. There is a board door located to the left of the centre bay, and the door on the right side has been replaced with a casement window. The windows are 2-light casements, and there is a 2-light eaves dormer on the right side. A stack is positioned between the right-hand bays.
